My girl is ready

My daughter is about to receive her First Holy Communion.
So I sat her down for that talk. You know - the relevance of the whole thing and why it is a ‘spiritual milestone’.
When a sinner begins to talk about God it’s always interesting. There is an acute awareness of the chasm between where one is and where one wants to be. And it’s amazing to sit in front of your child and say, “I’m pretty messed up. But, you don’t have to be. And God is probably a great help. As is the Church.”
She totally agreed.
